1/ Over the last 40 years there has been a massive transfer of wealth into the hands of 1% of Americans. Productivity has gone up but wages have not, as companies have felt justified in ripping off workers as though their lives did not matter.

2/ The cruel neglect of masses of people’s survival needs during the pandemic has been a natural extension of how the system had been working even before. Incremental change will not fix this. We need a fundamental disruption of the political & economic status quo.

3/ The election of Biden doesn’t mean the emergency is over. Trump was a symptom, not a cause of the underlying emergency & it is still with us. WH & Congressional Dems will take a quick sharp turn towards economic justice, or fascism will come to America & this time it will stay

Biden will do nothing here. He supports just such a system. Which is why we needed @SenSanders. Or you.

You are acting as if you don't understand how White Resentment, or how less than 40k/yr R(s) vote to make sure "others" aren't getting govt. services even if it's against their own economic interests, and they do vote, while neoprogressives stay home for purity politics.
